Description

Now here’s a volume you’ll be able to actually drink to!  Something’s brewing in these pages, and it’s moonshine—a word that evokes fascination, curiosity, and a warm sense of nostalgia. Never before has there been this type of richly illustrated, thorough, and entertaining celebration of the history of making fine distilled spirits. Take a go back and forth through moonshining’s past: commute from its beginnings as a pioneer staple to the dark days of prohibition, from quickly produced urban rotgut to today’s carefully handcrafted artisanal libations. Get in on the fun with how-to instructions that keep in mind all legal regulations and requirements before covering ingredients, building a still, basic distilling techniques, and dozens of recipes, all adapted for the beginner. Whiskies, brandies, grappa, schnapps: they’re all here, together with dozens of page-turning quotes, song lyrics, and vintage photographs and illustrations.
“Making whisky or brandy isn’t in the least difficult. Making something you’d need to drink…well, that may take some practice.”   —Matthew B. Rowley
